Not to mention that the marks on the ground don't look like they were left by people in battle, and it is impossible for the Eternal Night Commander to have such strength.

Thoughts were swirling in his head, but Sir Kleist was too clever to ask.

Archduke Buck snorted, and did not answer Sir Kleist's meaning, but asked, "Why did you arrive early?"

Sir Christ naturally couldn't tell Archduke Buck that he was plagued by heart disease and nightmares, and couldn't sleep at night, so he could only take out the same set against Vice Admiral Evans and said: "Stubbin's fleet is limited in number, it is impossible to completely block the entire river, and it is impossible to prevent it from sneaking in on a small scale at night, and the Eternal Night Army Leader started with a night attack, I am worried that they will repeat their old tricks, so I led the elite, took the first step, and came to answer, after the Admiral Evans, I didn't expect to hurry up, or one step late." ”

It would be false to say that Sir Kleist was not annoyed in his heart, and looking at what he did, it could not be said that he was careless, that he was not careful, that he did not pay attention to the Eternal Night Leader, but he was still always one step behind the Eternal Night Leader.

I didn't guess the other party's military intentions, I thought about it, but there was a time difference, and I was taken the lead by others, which made people want to vomit.

"You've done a great job!" said Grand Duke Buck after a moment of silence, "You've repeatedly reminded me to be careful of the Eternal Night Leader, but I still don't pay enough attention to it, and it's inevitable that I will suffer." ”

Clearly, Sir Kleist is not alone in this feeling.

Ever since being reminded by Sir Kleist, Grand Duke Buck thinks he's taken the Eternal Night Leader seriously enough.

To this end, he even smashed several gold mountains, invoked the hidden power of the royal capital Valesta, and forced Sean, the supreme ruler of the Eternal Night Army, out of his lair to test their level, and as a result, he broke two champion knights.

In order to ensure the foolproof nature of the Swamp of Despair, he even did not hesitate to give away part of the benefits of the Swamp of Despair, which he regarded as his bag, so that the Cummins family could get a piece of the pie, but only defeated the crocodiles, but did not even see the face of the Eternal Night Commander.

Now he does not hesitate to use the Kingsley family's biggest hole card - Golden Armor.

The ancient artifact hadn't been delivered yet, and he was almost killed halfway through

This is the fake Cummins family envoy that Archduke Buck didn't know that he had arranged for Sir Kleist to send, and when he was sowing discord between the Cummins family and the crocodiles, he easily pushed the crocodiles into the arms of the Eternal Night Leader, otherwise he wouldn't vomit blood.

Looking at the whole picture, it seems that they are helping the Eternal Night Commander.

Every move he made was subject to the Eternal Night Commander.

The occurrence of such a dislocation is directly related to the policies adopted by both sides towards the crocodile people.

If the Eternal Night Army Leader had been on the Swamp of Despair from the beginning, like the Kingsley family, maybe the two sides would have already started the battle in the Swamp of Despair.

It is precisely because of his great appetite to swallow the crocodile people along with the Swamp of Despair that the Eternal Night Leader is one step ahead of the Kingsley family, which has to be said to be a miracle.

"Have you seen any enemies attacking the camp outside?" Ada asked impatiently.

"The enemy attacking the camp, trebuchet?" said Sir Kleist, his eyes widened, and he said inexplicably, "Didn't the enemy attack the camp directly? I was about to ask, where is the enemy? When we arrived, the enemy's main force had already retreated, and the surrounding environment was too complicated, and we did not dare to pursue it without permission, and asked Your Majesty to punish us." ”

No trebuchets in sight!

Grand Duke Buck glanced at Ada and Needham, as if he could see the horror in each other's eyes.

Unless it was an invisible and untouchable ghost, their previous guess was correct, and the other party was indeed attacking from the air.

Seeing the undead, this is even more illusory than the ghost himself, how did the other party do it?

Archduke Buck once again praised Sir Kleist's steadyness, and at the same time sent out sentry horses to check the surroundings.

The result was the same as Ser Kleist's answer, not to mention the shadow of the trebuchet, not even the corpses of the enemy, and if it weren't for the blood left on the ground that could not be removed, they would have thought that it was a ghost who had fought them yesterday.

Even so, various rumours continued to spread among the convoys.

Many swore that it was not people who attacked them last night, but ghostly ghasts, ghosts of the Swamp of Despair, who were dragging them to the realm of death.

Those Kingsley family soldiers are better, after all, they serve the military leader, and many times they can't help themselves, knowing that there is a sea of fire ahead, and they have to move forward.

Those Black people from the Flower Language Plateau are different, and they are not willing to go one step further if they are killed.

Are you kidding!

They're here to make money, not to die.

They went deep into the Swamp of Despair to transport food, because they thought that the Swamp of Despair was completely under the control of the Kingsley family, and there was no danger.

Now, it seems, this is not the case at all.

Not to mention that the enemies who attacked them before were ghostly enemies who came and went without a trace, even if they were ordinary bandits and robbers, they didn't have the courage to go forward when they were killed like this.

Especially the Blakes in the first half of the line, it was a river of blood.

The sword is eyeless, and the water and fire are ruthless.

In the chaotic situation before, the Night Leopard Marines didn't care whether it was the soldiers of the Kingsley family who were transporting the grain, or the merchants and farmers from the Huayu Plateau.

When the fire burned, it didn't care so much.

These businessmen from the Huayu Plateau can be said to have lost both people and money, sitting on the ground and crying, abounding.

In this case, the Black people who did not lose in the back did not want to go forward.

When they were away from home, the townsfolk would naturally unite together, and soon the Black people elected several of the more intelligent and prestigious people who came to negotiate with the head of the Kingsley family.

Before they came, they did not know that Grand Duke Buck, the supreme ruler of the Kingsley family, had accompanied the party, and when they heard that it was the king of the Kingsley family who had received them, the merchants fell to their knees on the spot.

However, in these years, those who can go out to do business, not to mention how much they have seen a lot, will be more or less involved with the lords and nobles, and the representative who was elected is a knight with a surname, although it has declined, and has to run this kind of industry that most lords and nobles look down on, but it is still a serious knight, and his vision is still a little.

The knight canonized by the Black family named Copperfield, who was elected, not only because he was well-known in the grain transport team, but also because he was in a relatively high position, he made a desperate bet and mortgaged all his property, and most of the twenty carts of grain he had prepared had been burned.

If you can't find an explanation, and you can bear it completely by yourself, then it is not a bankruptcy problem, but a debt-ridden family sleeping on the streets.

Copperfield didn't care about the traces of war on his body that had not had time to clean up, and after performing a standard aristocratic etiquette, he said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, it is our honor to be able to meet you, I am not only here for myself, but also on behalf of those colleagues of the Huayu Army, I am ashamed to say that we were blinded by interests in this grain sale, and far underestimated the danger, many people made wrong decisions, and the losses were heavy." ”

"There should be a lot of responsibilities that belong to them, and it is a little inconsistent to ask Your Majesty, but most people have small businesses and have no way to bear such losses, if there is no external assistance, they and their families will be in a desperate situation, after all, they are here for Your Majesty, can Your Majesty give some compensation appropriately?"

Sir Copperfield said it very tactfully, but the meaning is obvious, we are also carrying food for the Kingsley family, so we must give an explanation.

Lest the Grand Duke of Buck was unwilling to accept this part of the loss, Sir Copperfield added: "We do not expect Your Majesty to pay according to the price originally agreed, but only according to the normal price of grain, and we are willing to bear the cost of transportation losses along the way." ”

Grand Duke Buck's face sank like water, and he couldn't tell anything from his expression, and tens of seconds of muttering made the Black merchants led by Sir Copperfield live like years.

Archduke Buck finally asked a question that was far from the topic: "Can you represent all the grain bearers?"

This question really made Copperfield hesitate for a moment, and his mind was turning, not knowing what Archduke Buck really thought by asking.

The implications of this question are many.

Do you have the right to represent them, and you are the one who takes the lead in making trouble?

There is a possibility that he will be pushed out and slashed with a backhand, and the possibility of the Black family coming out for themselves is almost zero.

At this moment, Copperfield felt a chill emanating from the back of his neck, and after a few minutes, it was a question of whether his head would be able to rest here.

But the matter has come to this point, there is no way for Copperfield to retreat, anyway, he stretched out his head and stabbed his head, and it was also a knife to shrink his head, it was just a matter of early death and late death, try his best to fight for it, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope, so he nodded stubbornly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, before coming, most of the people have reached a consensus and recommend me to act as an agent for this matter, as long as an agreement can be reached, the rest of the people, I can find a way to convince." ”

"Good. Grand Duke Buck nodded with satisfaction, " In this way, it also saves me a lot of trouble, even if you don't come, I will not sit idly by, after all, you are here in response to my call, for my family to transport food, although you are all Black, but now you are regarded as my soldiers, I can't sit idly by, please Sir go back and count, all the unfortunate Black people who died, will be treated according to the Kingsley family soldiers, when the pension will be handed over to the hands of Jazz, please Sir to transfer it to their families, as for the food burned, all according to the original price of food, but......”

Copperfield was filled with great surprises, such a result was completely beyond his imagination, according to their expectations, the Kingsley family could pay for the burned grain at the market price, which was already the best result.

As for the Black merchants who unfortunately died, they can only consider themselves unlucky.

In these years, going out to do business in a foreign business is a very risky thing in itself, especially for long-distance business, two or three out of ten will always fall halfway.

It is not only those thieves and robbers who are as many as cattle hairs, but also diseases and plagues, and if you are not careful, you will fall down, and it will be difficult to get up again.

Who would have thought that Archduke Buck would be so cheerful that he not only took all the losses, but also gave pensions to the merchants who died.

This is unheard of.

It is worthy of being called the richest family in the whole continent, and it is really wealthy, and its style of acting is indeed different from the lords and nobles seen in the past.

Copperfield was born in a noble family, and his vision was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary businessmen, so he somewhat understood the reason why Grand Duke Buck was so bold.

The Kingsley family was as short of food as they were to be rich.

They had just established contact with the Black family, and they used heavy profits to attract the merchants of the Black family to come out to transport grain.

If Archduke Buck is too ruthless and cools the hearts of those Black family merchants, who will help them transport grain out at that time?

Even if he sent a large army himself, he would be able to do it with skill.

Buying the hearts of these Black merchants with heavy profits and continuing to help the Kingsley family carry grain is the king.

Copperfield's previous agreement to the Black merchants to negotiate with the Kingsley family on behalf of the Black merchants was based on this speculation.

But before that, the only thing he couldn't be sure about was whether the Kingsley family's general who guarded the grain and grass this time had such a big picture.

I didn't expect to bump directly into Grand Duke Buck.

He was wiser than he expected, and made the most correct decision, and the most favorable one for them Black merchants.

Buck's public conditions made Copperfield feel a little confident in his heart, even when he heard the turn, he was not as panicked as before, and said extremely respectfully: "Graciful Your Majesty, what else do you want, although we are willing to serve you with your kindness alone." ”

Grand Duke Buck also nodded with satisfaction, dealing with smart people, many things are much simpler, and directly spread out his own conditions, and said: " I need Sir to go back and help appease the frightened merchants, not to give up halfway, and continue to deliver the grain to its destination, our situation, as you have seen, is not able to draw so many men for a while, and when the grain arrives at its destination, I am willing to add half of the price of grain to the original price, and as for safety, I can assure you that there will be no such thing as last night, and that a large army will arrive in the near future to sweep the surrounding area. ”

"More than glad, Your Majesty, for your kindness and boldness will impress them and make them make the right choice. Copperfield happily agreed.

At this time, there is not much room for him to bargain.

If he doesn't nod his head, what Grand Duke Buck promised before will not be carried out, or not.

What's more, Grand Duke Buck has the truth that money can make ghosts grind, and for these merchants, as long as they offer enough benefits, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, they dare to go, let alone the threat of war.

"Very well, I hope our cooperation will last a long time. Grand Duke Buck nodded with satisfaction.

"Always available. Copperfield once again returned with an impeccable aristocratic etiquette, and the two sides reached an agreement.

There will be brave men under the great reward.

This is also appropriate for businessmen.

When they heard that the Kingsley family was willing to bear all the losses and risks, even if the Black merchants were still full of fear of the future, no one was clamoring to quit, and even if they did, they were suppressed by Sir Copperfield.

This is not the time to talk about human rights, but the collective interest is the most important thing.

Fortunately, they were indeed not far from the Kingsley family's expedition to the east, and after a day of repair, when they hit the road again, there were already countless Kingsley family cavalry along the way.

Akmesser had already received the news that Grand Duke Buck had come to the Swamp of Despair and was almost blown up alive, and he was shocked into a cold sweat, and the entire defense level was raised by more than one notch.
